In October 1996, I was invited to speak at the NACHA Internet Council Meeting in McLean, Virginia. My subject matter was "Introduction to Internet Security Issues", which included an overview on Internet security basics, digital signatures, and public key cryptography relevant to the members of NACHA.

Formed in 1996, NACHA’s Internet Council addresses issues that advance electronic commerce over open networks and facilitate digital business transactions in a straight-through and secure manner. The Council has 75 members that focus on challenges and opportunities in the payments environment, including authentication; data security; risk management; compliance; emerging technologies; and online and mobile banking.

"Free-market protagonists, such as Matonis, regard cybercash as better than traditional government-issued or -regulated money, because it is determined by market forces and thus nonpolitical in nature." --Robert Guttmann, Professor of Economics at Hofstra University, in Cybercash: The Coming Era of Electronic Money, 2002

"Matonis is quite correct that the new technology makes easier the use of multiple private currencies." --Mark Bernkopf, Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in "Electronic Cash and Monetary Policy", 1996

"Matonis argues that what is about to happen in the world of money is nothing less than the birth of a new Knowledge Age industry: the development, issuance, and management of private currencies." --Seth Godin in Presenting Digital Cash, 1995
